Special Issue on Smart Technologies and Architectures enabling the Internet of Things

Published on Tuesday, 27 February 2018 - 11:26

The future Internet is expected to interconnect and to make
interoperable heterogeneous and smart objects in order to realize the
vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). This will allow for implementing
pervasive and living environments for the benefit of several
applications, such as environmental monitoring, building automation,
healthcare, smart cities, smart grid, logistics. There are key emerging
hardware technologies and innovative software architectures and
functionalities that still need to be developed to make it a reality,
which should mostly introduce distributed intelligence for a reliable
and effective processing of the information about the physical world
that should provide a complete knowledge to the top running
applications. With this special issue, we invite authors to submit
original research and review articles mainly focused on technological,
architectural and practical innovations in the field of smart
technologies and architectures enabling the Internet of Things.
